If you have wandered around Dublin for any amount of time, you have come across and probably popped into a Carroll's Irish Gifts. We popped into this location to pick up a few tchotchkes for the folks back home. The store is packed with goods from wall to wall, floor to ceiling. They have all the classic souvenirs plus a few local specialties in the form of snacks and such. We scooped up a few magnets, a hat and a couple of t-shirts for the family. It was nice to be able to mark everyone off the list after one spot. Service was okay. Not very helpful and a bit disconnected at the register, but I imagine they are constantly busy, so just overwhelmed. Either way, it was noticeable, but didn't detract much from the experience. Overall, I'd recommend this or any Carroll's location in Dublin when you are after goodies from your trip. read more

It's an overpriced touristy souvenir shop. What can you do? Not a lot of options but the standard fare of Tshirts and pics and things with names are being sold here. read more

Decent enough. Helpful people in the store. A lot of different items to choose from - tho I was trying to find a pair of shower shoes and there weren't many options as far as sizes go. A bit more expensive than I'd prefer but pretty much the value I'd expect for a shop such as this- $9.22/€8 for a pair of flip flops read more

Loved this place!! I got lots of t-shirts and a really nice zip-up hoodie that is great quality. I would go here again!

ANYTHING Irish you need, this place has it. Highly recommend for any and all Irish needs. We bought a large majority of our gifts from our trip from there. read more

This particular store is where you want to go if you want to buy souvenirs while in Dublin. They have stores all over the city, and their prices arent bad compared to other places. They also have a wide array of products, from hats, magnets, trinkets, and any other type of souvenir you can imagine. read more

The place to go for your Irish trinkets and souvenirs! Several locations. Big stores. Lots of stuff. Def dip in to check out the treasures.

This company has horrible customer service. We paid almost $100 for a gift to be sent that was supposed to arrive by Christmas. It is now mid-January and the last tracking notice showed that it had arrived in the United States on December 24th. Carroll's told us to call the Post office and that it was basically up to us to figure it out. So as of now we have no gift no refund and no replacement. Do not use this company if you actually want the gift that you order and pay for. read more

Sometimes, visitors to Ireland don't want to just bring back some beautiful crystal or linen, or even a hand woven basket created by a blind nun who has dedicated her life to both Jesus and wicker. Enter Carrolls of Dublin, which is filled with Irish tat like leprechaun hats, Guinness magnets and amusing postcards of cattle on a rural road with the faintly insulting words "Irish traffic jam" beneath them. In fairness to Carrolls, it does have some quite nice t-shirts. They might look a little over-enthusiasticfor all things Irish if you wear them on the streets of Dublin, they will be fine once you get them home. I particularly like the "FCEK - Irish Connection" one. read more

Oh Carrolls home of eyedildy, dyedildy music and all things leprechaun. Much as I pity the people who have to work there and listen to that all day it is really the best place to get Oirishy tat to give to people when going abroad or to give to foreigners arriving... although it is a mark against them that they're probably responsible for all those hen and stag parties wandering around the city wearing those leprechaun hat/beard combos! As well as many many kinds of leprechaun they have some T-shirts and other clothing items with amusing Irish themed picture and slogans... I've seen CDs and musical instruments there too. However an actual irish person can only spend 8 minutes or less in this shop without going out of their mind! read more

This place is 3 floors of every Irish Stereotype that can imagine. I know that in Canada we have our stereotypes, however, here there were lots of Leprechauns, gold coins and clover leafs. There was a good assortment of tacky to the classy and some things in between that will make you have a face palm. As a joke I bought some really really cheesy magnets, some Guinness post cards that I forgot to pick up at the Storehouse, some whisky chocolate and some cards. Everything there is affordable. Everyone had good customer service. To be cheeky they had a standee of Bono at the door. read more

In my experience these souvenir stores are usually cookie cutter, one size fits all when it comes to service. I have traveled all over North America and Europe and never had the experience in a shop like this that my family and I had today. The manager, Danny and his staff were absolutely amazing. They helped us with our family crest printing (5 of them). Danny answered questions about the meaning of symbols and quality of jewelry. Additionally, the entertained my 1 year Old nephew as well. This experience was amazing and absolutely warrants this review. read more

My Ratings: Quantity: 4 - Lots of items Quality: 4 - Good Price: 4 - Affordable Location: 3 - Nice Service: 4 - Good Speed: 3 - Good Overall: Where else do you get your souvenirs? My Opinion/Story: Lots to choose from. Place is a little tight but they have two floors. Wish I went to the one closer to the bus station so I didn't have to haul two heavy bags of chocolates and souvenirs. read more

This is one of the top shops to shop at in Ireland. At least in Dublin. They advertise it everywhere. They advertise Tax Free as well. But, that is not all that easy. We will come back to that in a moment though. It is a great store and I actually visited a few of them around the large city of Dublin. i am a sucker for spending $$ when it comes to shopping. When you walk in to this store ,they have 2 floors and so much to choose from. You could find something for everyone on your list here. Just proving how many visitors come into Dublin. Tourism I think is one of the biggest industries here. As well as the Guinness Production. They have the usual cheap tourist stuff, but they have a lot of really high end nice items as well. No Waterford Crystal or anything like that, but lots of other things such as some lovely knitted garments ,made out of Irish Merino Sheep. I bought a sweater and wore it instead of my coat , as it was warmer than my coat. Lots and lots to choose from. You will enjoy this shop, most certainly. The whole thing with the Tax Free Business, well you have to buy everything. Then you have to go to the airport and fill everything out and mail it in along with your credit card info. I decided not to do it. I would no longer have my original receipts plus I was taking a lot of time to do it as well. I just did not have to time nor the inclination to do it all. I just hope that the 23% tax that I paid on everything will go towards helping all the peopole of Ireland. So I am passing it on. read more

Carroll's Irish Gifts have many Irish themed and cultral gifts at good prices and often have great deals. Many of the gifts are easy to post and to transport. Also, hint, the security people at the doors are very good at giving directions and are extremely helpful! read more

You will find a few of these gift shops in Dublin city centre and its made pretty clear its aimed at the tourist types. This particular store is huge and if you walk past it all you can see is green, everything in it seems to be green. They have a massive range of stuff, mainly souvenirs that tourists can take home to remember their visit. The prices are really expensive, and because a pencil has a shamrock on it and the word Ireland the price goes up by about 50%. They have a nice range of Guinness stuff here too, nice t-shirts and things like tankards/beer mats all that kind of stuff. read more

Need souvenirs before you fly out of Ireland? This is the place to go. They have almost everything you can think of. Very nice selection. Not too many aran sweaters for sale but definitely a great place to get all of our souvenirs. read more

Carroll's Irish Gifts on-line shop team stole my money and said they did not understand how it happened but could not help. I placed my order in January 2015, after a week of waiting I called them to find out that the order had been cancelled. And the next day after my call they charged my card the full amount of the purchase (including 30 euros for the delivery). When I asked why they did it, I got the answer that they didn't deal with the refunds and was sent to solve the problem with my bank. As could be expected the bank sent me back to deal with the store. After a month of talks with both the store and my bank I realized that it would be less harmful for my nerves just to forget about the stolen money, failed surprise for my friend's family and all the wasted time. Guess that Carroll's Irish Gifts really needs this money more than my family. read more
